Verse 1 For unto us the Child was born, The Son that God had giv’n, To bring the light of hope and love, And open hearts to heav’n. No crown of gold, no throne of might— Just starlight, straw, and grace; The King of kings in swaddling cloths, The Lord of every place. Chorus Prince of Peace, the world rejoices, Heaven’s promise now fulfilled; Prince of Peace, our hearts are singing, Be calm—His word is still. He carries all the weight of pain, And gives our souls release; The Child, the Son, the Mighty God— Our Savior, Prince of Peace. Verse 2 He taught the meek, forgave the lost, And healed by love’s command; He bore our griefs and conquered death, To lift the heart of man. The zeal of God will bring to pass All righteousness and joy; His kingdom stands forever sure— No power can destroy. Chorus Prince of Peace, the world rejoices, Heaven’s promise now fulfilled; Prince of Peace, our hearts are singing, Be calm—His word is still. He carries all the weight of pain, And gives our souls release; The Child, the Son, the Mighty God— Our Savior, Prince of Peace. Bridge / Outro When fear and sorrow cloud the night, His gentle hands still reach; For unto us the Child is born— Forever, Prince of Peace. Chorus Prince of Peace, the world rejoices, Heaven’s promise now fulfilled; Prince of Peace, our hearts are singing, Be calm—His word is still. He carries all the weight of pain, And gives our souls release; The Child, the Son, the Mighty God— Our Savior, Prince of Peace.
